A new Dartmouth study opens new avenues for understanding—and potentially manipulating—how cells decide to live or die.

When a cell receives a message from outside, it generates a molecule called cyclic AMP (cAMP) to relay this message. To ...

It was thought that complex cells couldn’t survive above a certain temperature, but a tiny amoeba has proven that assumption ...

The microbe Pyrodictium abyssi is an archaeon—a member of what's known as the third domain of life—and an extremophile. It ...

Recently, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have proven successful in automating the detection of defective photovoltaic (PV) cells within PV modules. Existing studies have built a CNN based on ...

Cellular membrane proteins play many important roles throughout the body, including transporting substances in and out of the cell, transmitting signals, speeding up reactions and helping neighboring ...

In the past decade there has been significant interest in studying the expression of our genetic code down to the level of single cells, to identify the functions and activities of any cell through ...

A small but enthusiastic group of neuroscientists is exhuming overlooked experiments and performing new ones to explore whether cells record past experiences — fundamentally challenging what memory is ...

In a hot spring at Yellowstone National Park, a microbe does something that life shouldn’t be able to do: It breathes oxygen and sulfur at the same time. Take a deep breath. A flow of air has rushed ...

Researchers have found that sound can influence cells directly, including suppressing fat cell development and activating certain genes – suggesting a future where acoustic therapy could aid medicine.

Results of a VHIO led study show that up to 90% of chronically hypoxic patients have an EPAS1 alteration in their tumor, a gene critical for adapting to lack of oxygen in populations living at ...
